[Devel] 2.0.9 nearly ready for release

[David Turner]

Hello,

  FreeType 2.0.9 is now very near for release. I'd like to know if Werner
  has finished committing its fixes to the stable branch regarding C++
  compilation. ?

  I have also added a new API named FT_Library_Version used to return
  the current library's version numbers. See below to see the lines
  added to FT_FREETYPE_H

  Note that "ftdump" has been updated again to display the global
  ascender/descender/text height values..

  All other API additions/changes will happen in another release..


Cheers,

- David
